Okay, you take that cube, I'll take the other cube -- and I hope it leads to $40,000.


(audience cheers as Mark rolls)

And it's a 4. So the fourth card from the top of the deck will be the Cash Card.

We now start drawing. The first three cards represent the awards that won't be added to your winnings.

(Doug draws...)

The 5 of spades -- so you won win $5000.

(Doug discards)

Nice payday. Let's hope the fourth card is much nicer. The second card...

(Doug draws...)

...is a 7 of clubs. This could've been $7000.

(Doug discards)

Mmm-kay -- the next card.

(Doug draws...)

Well, we could've done a little Penn & Teller routine if you rolled a 3.  Is this your card? We know you won't win $3000.

(Doug discards)

And the next card is yours. Mark, how are ya feeling knowing the next card is your Cash Card?

[GameShowNetwork]

I think I'm feeling pretty good.

[dougmorrisontheair]

You think you're feeling pretty good.

Mmm'kay. Well, let's see how much you're winning from this Cash Card.

(Doug peeks at card)

Well...



















...there's bad news and good news...



















...the bad news is this is not one of the four aces in the deck. So $40,000 is off the table.




















The good news is -- this is the highest card we've seen so far.

You're winnings $9000.

(audience cheers)

That brings your incredible total in cash and merchandise to...

...$312,183.

(audience cheers)

Now then -- we have to find out what would've happened if you rolled a 5 or a 6, Mark.

If you rolled a 5, this would've been your Cash Card.

A face card for $10,000 -- slightly better payoff. And the last card. The roll of a 6 would've given you...

...ten large as well. But you got the next best thing for $9000.

And, Mark, I have it on good authority there's excitement aplenty in the next main event.

[GameShowNetwork]

Oh?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(prize music)

Oh indeed. Bill, please tell us all what's in the next main event.

Bill: My pleasure, Doug. The silver medal in Monday's main event features the all-new Cookie Jar game...

...where one of these jars will lead to a payoff of $100,000.


(woos, ahhs, and cheers from the crowd)

That means the gold medal prize will be valued at *more* that $100,000.


(more woos, ahh, and cheers from the crowd)

And the deluxe Monopoly game, represent bronze, plus the $237,500 cash jackpot -- both unclaimed from today's main event -- will be back at stake. That brings the potential value of the next main event to more than $400,000 in cash and merchandise.


(more woos, ahhs, and cheers from the crowd)

More than $400,000 could be yours if you win the next main game *and* the next main event, Mark. And if you win five games, you know what happens?

[GameShowNetwork]

I get a car?

[dougmorrisontheair]

You've already won two. You want more wheels?

(audience laughs)

Only kidding. A car *could* be yours on Monday's main event. Then in your fifth, it's the all-cash main even for a chance at more than $1,000,000.

(audience cheers)

Mark's already won more than $312,000. Find out how much more he'll win here -- and "here" will look a little different -- on the next Lucky Numbers.

'Til then, make it a great day, a great weekend, keep the faith, and treasure your loved ones.


(closing theme plays; audience applause)
